We are actually getting nearer to the 2-yr mark and I can't believe it. Didn't we just celebrate Millie's 1st birthday? She is talking so much more now and understands just about everything that you say. She is still using her sign language and I believe that has enhanced her language skills. I can ask Millie to go put some dirty clothes in her hamper and she'll walk right into her room and put them in the hamper. She likes to help clean her room and other parts of the house, too.
She still enjoys taking a shower and loves to get in with mommy, sometimes in the mornings. She loves to read books and one of her favorites right now is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?" and "Bear's House." She actually says, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear.....see?" She said "teacher" last week and we were astonished.
She loves milk so much that, if we let her, she would drink a gallon a day. She also still loves her beans and actually ate two bowls of burrito mix last night for dinner. She hates having her teeth brushed and sometimes doesn't like getting her diaper changed or getting her clothes changed. It doesn't make any sense, or is it really supposed to?
She loves to dance and loves music - all kinds too! She loves to dress like her daddy, complete with overalls and her boots. She likes going to church to play and pray (and actually tells the crying babies to "shush....") She can say pretty clearly now: "squirrel", "bird", and "mermaid." She also says "trash" and "side" - meaning "outside". We have two trash cans in our entry way - one is a trash can and the other is for recycling. Most of the time, she will put things in their respective cans; sometimes she does it by herself w/o us asking and other times, we'll ask her.
She's a people-person although it takes her a few moments to warm up to someone new. She has a great, easy-going personality - happy most of the time. She has really been a special addition to our family (immediate and extended).
She's sometimes a picky eater; one day eating one thing, and the next turning her nose up. I guess that's how a toddler is though. We just have to roll with the punches.
And now, everytime we get some change, we always save it for her and she knows exactly where to put it. She has two piggy banks in her room and our big bank in our room.
She is very loving and just learned yesterday how to give Eskimo kisses. She sleeps well, most of the time. But never say to yourself that you've figured it out b/c as soon as you do, it will all change.
